I have 50 minutes exactly to get this guy to ask me on a date

What do I do?

He's been here a week in supply work. Instantly thought he fancied me as he always chose to sit by me. He would wear headphones when on his own but when I sat down immediately took them off and sat next to me. But he never ever spoke to me.

We both spent every lunch hour sat in silence, blushing the entire time and awkwardly avoiding eye contact. I'm the most extrovert person you can find but I can't even speak to him. He makes me too nervous.

I'm not completely sure he fancies me but I think he does.

He leaves work in 50 mins. I don't work in his department so not really appropriate for me to say goodbye as I've not even spoken to him.

What the hell do I do? . I promise I'm not 13!!! Grin

I only say that Janice because anyone who hits people up for money the way you do, doesn't let the man leave the office without closing the deal.

@SouthWindsWesterly where are you? I've got the same whine going on in the same time zone.
Come on OP. I've had wine and I need to go to bed. I'm living the romance our vicariously.

CalmItKermitt · 25/04/2017 16:08

Oh get on with it!

Bobbins43 · 25/04/2017 16:09

WHAT'S GOING ON?

GivenupontheGarden · 25/04/2017 16:10

Wha going on? Did you ask him?

VelvetThunder · 25/04/2017 16:11

I hope this wait means you've asked, you'll regret it if you don't.

TheUltimate · 25/04/2017 16:11

WELL?? Come on OP we are all rooting for you!

Scrubba · 25/04/2017 16:11

They'll be in the stationery cupboard ... canoodling ... is my bet Grin

He's still whining... 🤣

jitterbug5 · 25/04/2017 16:12

Put a Post it note on your forehead asking 'Who wants to go for a drink after work?

Oh my god 😂😂

Bobbins43 · 25/04/2017 16:12

God, I miss canoodling

ophiotaurus · 25/04/2017 16:12

Did you do it?!

GivenupontheGarden · 25/04/2017 16:13

I think OP lunged across the table, he mirrored her action. They collided and subsequently passed out.

Hopelessromantic1988 · 25/04/2017 16:13

..And he's gone. He said it was lovely working alongside you and I said thank you and you too.

Then I walked away.

Me and my fear of rejection :-(

Find out his email. Emailing to ask for a drink is easier than asking when you're bricking it

CheeseQueen · 25/04/2017 16:15

WTF??? Well, that was a let down.

sucue · 25/04/2017 16:15

Well he could have asked you, not sure why it's your job.

robinia · 25/04/2017 16:16

Oh Sad
I do feel for you.
I guess he knows where you are. If he's interested and less fearful than you he could contact you.

MistySparrow · 25/04/2017 16:16

Oh for fuck's sake OP.

Just do the bloody text him - with all those autocorrects your mother could end up very compromised.
